Czarevich inspired by Fabergé Pincushion Cross Stitch Kit

The Imperial Czarevich Egg was created in 1912 for Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna as a tribute by Fabergé to her son the Czarevich Alexis (Alexei). The egg itself is made of blue lapis lazuli, overlaid with Louis XV-style golde cagework featuring designs of floral and leafy scrolls, canopies, garlands and the double-headed Imperial Eagle. A diamond-studded Imperial Eagle, framing a miniature portrait of the Alexis, sits on a lapis-lazuli base inside the egg.

This cross stitch design was inspired by the goldwork patterns and incorporates some of the scroll-work, garlands and the Imperial Eagle against a background of sapphire blue stitches. Only whole cross stitch is required to stitch this design, with some backstitch needed for the outlined features.
